A cool and creamy cucumber yogurt sauce made with Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, garlic, and dill. This refreshing condiment pairs perfectly with grilled meats, vegetables, wraps, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  2. Place the Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Stir everything together until well combined.
  5. Drizzle in the olive oil, if using, and mix again.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  7. Stir before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • Substitute fresh mint for dill for a brighter flavor.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for subtle heat.
  • Mix in finely chopped parsley for extra freshness.
  • Add crumbled feta cheese for a richer, savory variation.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and stir before serving.
